A quantum-mechanics station (Ψ-station) and a cloud-based server cooperate to provide quantum mechanics as a service (ΨaaS) including real-time, exclusive, interactive sessions. The Ψ-station serves as a system for implementing “recipes” for producing, manipulating, and/or using quantum-state carriers, e.g., rubidium 87 atoms. The cloud-based server acts as an interface between the station (or stations) and authorized users of account holders. To this end, the server hosts an account manager and a session manager. The account manager manages accounts and associated account-based and user-specific permissions that define what actions any given authorized user for an account may perform with respect to a Ψ-station. The session manager controls (e.g., in real-time) interactions between a user and a Ψ-station, some interactions allowing a user to select a recipe based on wavefunction characterizations returned earlier in the same session.
